When the young man saw that Mao Geng and the others had agreed, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly called people up, and after giving orders with command, a maid led him up to the second floor and came to a hall called "Penglai".
Waiting for Mao Geng Wenyuan to sit down, the young man gave another order, and ordered a few maids to do this, and after a while, Mao Geng Wenyuan's desk was served with tea, and then the stove was burned, and even musical instruments such as pianos and flutes were also put up.
Mao Gengxin said what this is for.
The young man just said:
"Please wait, two sons, please have tea first, my master will arrive later."
Mao Geng noticed that this "Penglai" hall was extremely exquisite, and the tables, chairs, and tea sets were all inlaid with gold and silver, which was really luxurious in Mao Geng's opinion. When it comes to luxury and refinement, I am afraid that this place may not lose to the palace, but it is not as grand and solemn as the palace.
But that's not all, what surprised Mao Geng was that among the paintings hanging on the wall, there were not only landscape paintings, but also a ladies' painting - no, that can't be called a ladies' painting! The person in the painting should obviously be a happy woman, just because the upper body of the person in the painting is only wearing a belly, spring, eyebrows and eyes, when you look closely, there are obvious traces of charcoal sketch in the painting, but the color is not like the oil paint can cover the traces of the sketch, so the whole painting looks a little weird, this is the characteristic of the legendary "light school"! Alas! The painter may not be able to accurately use light and shadow to paint, but people grasp people's psychology, in the painting of a spring light, hehe, the original "light school" painting method is to attract attention and do not hesitate to strip the light and leak light, no wonder the "shadow school" painting method Jiang someone disdains the "light school". However, the stripping show of later generations is called proud of the world, and in comparison, the cautious light leakage scale of the "light school" is simply beyond the reach of the dust.
Mao Geng doesn't know whether this painting was painted by Niu Jindong, but from the perspective of the market, this "light school" painting method should be quite marketable, and this Niu Jindong's market consciousness is very good, and it can't be taken lightly.
The young man saw Mao Geng staring at the painting vigorously, but Wen Yuan seemed quite calm, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Wen Yuan, and classified Mao Geng as a womanizer. Of course, Mao Geng didn't know anything about this, if only Wen Yuan was on the side, he would definitely go forward to see the inscription on the painting, but with this young man here, it would be difficult to do this.
At this time, the master finally arrived, but there were two people who came, in addition to the young man who scolded Wen Yuan to step down, there was also a young man, and when the young man entered the door, he gave a deep salute and said:
"In Xia Zhao Yimeng, I have seen two sons. This is Mao Gongzi, right? ”
Mao Geng immediately got up, and Han Wu introduced that the identity of the other party is a child of the clan, in Mao Geng's mind, the royal family and the three relatives and six relatives of the royal family are his main customer resources, of course, he can't be offended, so other people's tea can not be drunk, and the tea of the children of the clan must be drunk. It's just that I don't know what the identity of this Zhao Yimeng is, but when the children of the clan come to a place like Jincui Building, of course, they can't tell each other by their real names, and they don't need to be stupid, so they saluted back:
"In Xia Mao Geng, I have seen Brother Zhao. Fortunately! ”
The person who came was Song Xiaozong's grandson Zhao Luan, and he was followed by two women dressed as men, one was a concubine, said to be a concubine, but in fact it was just a beautiful maid sent by Empress Dowager Wu, but she was good at singing and dancing, and now she was being favored, and the other was a maid called by the palace, which was the one who stopped Mao Wen and the others at the door.
Zhao Lian immediately apologized for being late:
"Let the two sons wait for a long time! I wanted to wait for Mr. Jiang to finish playing and invite him to come over for a cup of tea, but Mr. Jiang already had an appointment, hehe, it's a pity! ”
Mao Geng knew that Jiang Kui was standing from the perspective of orthodoxy in lyrics and songs, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to accept the traditional Song lyrics and singing method, since he had such an attitude and didn't want to see Wen Yuan, it was understandable. But in the face of the children of the clan, doesn't this Jiang Kui even sell the face of the clan! Legend has it that Jiang Kui had a close relationship with Yang Wanli, Fan Chengda and Xin Qiji, and happily accepted their gifts. It is not known whether this gentleman refused the invitation of the children of the clan, whether he disdained to be in the company of the children of the clan, or whether this gentleman was very resolute in defending the traditional Song lyrics and singing.
Zhao Lian came to listen to Jiang Kui and Wu Li'er's joint performance today, and of course he could only come to Jincuilou to serve in small clothes, and he couldn't make a noise. But Zhao Lian has also been troubled in his heart this year, over the years, there have been rumors that his grandfather intends to pass on the throne to himself, and he thinks that it should be from his grandfather's sincerity, but this proposal is really full of resistance, and he can't see hope for a while, Zhao Lian can't help but give up on himself.
It is said that Song Xiaozong Zhao Tuan has three sons, the eldest Zhao Zhen, the second Zhao Kai, and the third Zhao Dan, all of whom were born to the original Queen Guo. After Zhao Tuan ascended the throne, in line with the principle of establishing a prince and establishing a chief, in the first year of the main road (1165), the eldest Zhao Zheng was appointed as the crown prince, but Zhao Zhen's life was thin and he died of a medical accident two years later. It is said that after the early death of the eldest child, the second Zhao Kai should be appointed as the crown prince, but Zhao Tuan felt that the third Zhao Dian was more suitable for the throne as the emperor than the honest Zhao Kai. Therefore, after the death of Zhao Zhen in the third year of the Qiandao (1167), the East Palace has been vacant, and Zhao Tuan tried his best to finally let his favored Zhao Dian become the prince in the seventh year of the Qiandao (1171).
In the seventh year of Chunxi (118o), Zhao Kai died in office in Mingzhou, this time it was not a medical accident, but in Zhao Tuan's words, it belonged to "a little blessed", and he was born without the fate of being the prince and the emperor.
The matter has been settled at this point, but after the eleven-year-old Zhao Lian returned to Lin'an from Mingzhou, the more Zhao Tuan looked at it, the more he loved it, and felt that Zhao Lian was smart, more like when he was young. And the older Zhao Dian gets, the more mediocre he becomes. Compared with the two, Zhao Tuan regretted it again, and when he turned around, he wanted to abolish Zhao Dian and pass the throne to Zhao Tuan instead. But at this time, Zhao Tuan's status as the crown prince had been consolidated, and Zhao Tuan wanted to save it again, but the resistance from all sides was too great, and after trying a few times, Zhao Tuan had no choice but to give up.
But Zhao Tuan had a new idea, his wishful thinking was that after Zhao Duan became the emperor, he would not set up Zhao Quan, the son of Zhao Xuan, as the crown prince, but set Zhao Lu as the crown prince, so that in the end, the throne could still be passed to Zhao Luan.
Zhao Lu originally expected his grandfather to pass on the throne directly to him, because it stands to reason that this throne should have been his own, after the death of his uncle Zhao Zhen, his father was the eldest of the two remaining brothers in his father's generation, and his father should be the prince, and if his father dies again, he should be the prince himself. That's what Jin Shizong did, his son Wan Yan Yungong died, and Wan Yan Yungong's son Wan Yan Jing was appointed as the crown prince, and Jin Shizong finally passed the throne directly to his grandson Wan Yan Jing.
Zhao Dian had a completely different idea, and Zhao Dian thought that the position of the crown prince should be his, no matter what. The eldest Zhao Wei died, and it stands to reason that the second Zhao Kai will be the prince, which is not wrong. But as soon as the second Zhao Kai died, it was naturally his turn to be the prince. Therefore, the position of the crown prince is just a little earlier and a little later, and it always falls on his head in the end.
The uncle and nephew think about the problem completely differently, and there is nothing they can do. In Zhao Luan's eyes, his uncle Zhao Dian robbed himself of the crown prince, and once Zhao Dian became the emperor, it was impossible for him to be the prince, but he must make his son Zhao Kuo the crown prince.
Although Zhao Lu still has a glimmer of hope for ascending the throne one day, he knows in his heart that as long as Zhao Dian becomes the emperor, he will definitely be like the story of Taizong taking over the throne of Taizu, and will never take the initiative to pass the throne to his brother's children and grandchildren. In his future, I am afraid that at most he will be crowned a king.
Originally, Gaozong died, it should be said that there was a big lack of resistance to easy storage, but Zhao Tuan still couldn't save easily, which can only say that the resistance to easy storage is still very large, or Zhao Tuan did not have the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat and save it. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than a year since the death of great-grandfather Song Gaozong, the prince is still Zhao Xuan, Zhao Lian understands that his imperial grandfather will rarely use drastic means, and the same is true in Yi Chu, I am afraid that the matter of Yi Chu will only be shelved from now on, and Zhao Lu will no longer have any illusions about the position of the prince.
Therefore, when Zhao Lian was discouraged, he indulged himself a little, although it has not yet reached the point of being lazy, but he has a tendency to indulge in poetry and music. So today, Jiang Kui played, and Zhao Lu deliberately disguised himself to come to listen to the music, which is reasonable.
The above is far away, but it is still back to business.
Wen Yuan heard that Jiang Kui refused the covenant of the clan in front of him, and he was reprimanded by Jiang Kui just now, and he even felt a kind of admiration for Jiang Kui, so he said in horror:
Today's abruptness has stirred up Mr. Jiang's interest. However, what Mr. Jiang said is like an enlightenment to the subordinates, and they have benefited a lot from the subordinates. ”
Zhao Yan smiled:
In fact, Wen Gongzi's new song is really good, although it is very different from today's singing, but Yi'an Jushi discusses the lyrics, and the song is the key, and Mr. Jiang composes his own song, which also has the meaning of pursuing the integration of words and songs. I highly respect Mr. Jiang, but after listening to Brother Wen's singing today, I suddenly had an idea, if Mr. Jiang can have a good discussion with the two sons, or he will no longer take Mr. Wen's singing method as a fallacy, or even Mr. Jiang can make a new song because of this, wouldn't everyone be happy! It's just a pity ------."
Mao Geng saw that Wen Yuan was overshadowed by Jiang Kui's light today, so he took over and said:
"Brother Zhao, the lyrics and songs made by Mr. Jiang and sung by Wen Yuan are good at each other. But whether it is Yi'an Jushi or Mr. Jiang, they are all elegant words, and they belong to the category of Yangchun and Baixue, and the scribes of the Great Song Dynasty are very elegant, especially the people who are more literary and elegant in Lin'an, so they are high but not harmonious, but they are with the people. However, once he arrived in the countryside, it was Wen Yuan's singing that could win the applause of the people. ”
Zhao Lian thought for a while and said:
"Brother Mao said this, but I realized some of it, as if it was the same love, there were 'flowers floating and water flowing freely, a kind of lovesickness, two kinds of leisure', and Brother Wen wrote love, but it was in the vernacular that could not be more popular, although the writing style is very different, but each has its own fun."
Mao Geng heard Zhao Lian say this, and said in his heart that this guy is a little smart, and he really let you say it right, the "Poppy Beauty" we sang is called popular singing.
Zhao Lian turned to Wen Yuan and said:
"I take the liberty of going down, I want to ask Brother Wen to sing here again, I don't know if it's okay!"
Wen Yuan had just received a blow from Jiang Kui, and he was still wilted at this time, so he had to look at Mao Geng and ask for Mao Geng's idea.
Mao Geng was hit today, but he had faith in his heart and was proud. Then he said angrily:
"Since Brother Zhao is interested, why don't you sing a new song with Wen Yuan."
Mao Geng naturally wanted to sing "A Laugh in the Sea", which should have been sung by Wen Yuan on stage, but since it was not sung on stage, it was better to make up for it here, and by the way, it also cheered Wen Yuan up.
The next moment, Wen Yuan played the piano, and Mao Geng sang:
"A laugh in the sea, surging tide ------ on both sides of the strait"
When Zhao Lian was depressed, he suddenly listened to this song full of pride, and his blood was stirred again, and he only felt that the words seemed to be written for himself, and the tune was passionate and extraordinarily beautiful, and he was stupid to listen to unconsciously.
Mao Geng didn't expect this clan disciple to love this song so much, in order to deal with the court, the two of them even prepared the music score this time, and they simply did it to the end, so they handed over the scores of "Poppy Beauty" and "A Laugh in the Sea" to this Zhao Yimeng.
Zhao Lian was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Mao Gengxin said that this trick has been done by himself, and he has pried open a crack in the royal market, and over time, this crack will get bigger and bigger, until the royal market is fully open to himself. It is conceivable that if this continues, that day will not be far off.
However, in the afternoon of the next day, Mao Geng was declared into the palace alone and saw the young man who called himself Zhao Yimeng yesterday for the second time.
It turns out that he is the grandson of today's official family - Zhao Luan, this Zhao Luan himself has heard Chen Liang introduce, it seems that Zhao Tuan even intends to give him this precious grandson, but the ministers did not agree.
Zhao Tuan's idea was to ask Zhao Lu to be handsome to take Yizhou, which made Mao Geng feel unimaginable. Mao Geng originally wanted to find an opportunity to recommend Xin Qiji as the commander of the capture of Yizhou, but Xin Qiji led the troops and trained a group of elite soldiers in Changsha.
And Zhao Lian can only be regarded as a novice on paper at most, if he is partnered with him, he doesn't know anything about war, and he is also a military novice, so it has become an authentic "Xiaobai combination", is Zhao Tuan so relieved!
In Zhao Tuan's mind, Yu Yunwen also had no experience in leading the army back then, but in the battle of Quarry Rock, Yu Yunwen won a big victory. And the barbarians in Yizhou are vulnerable, it is a good time for Zhao Lu to make meritorious achievements, as long as a few powerful generals are sent.
Of course, Mao Geng has no qualifications to object, Mao Geng and Zhao Lu are both in their twenties, the two Xiaobai have already met yesterday, and when they meet today, the two will smile, neither of them thought that things would be like this.
